HOW WALES ENJOYS LIFE.
Home Habits of His Royal Highness.
Choice of Clothing.


AT Sandringham the prince breakfasts
with his wife and daughters. but at
Marlborough house his habits are less
regular, and as often as not his first meal
consists of sardine on toast with a cup of
coffee. or on occason-tell it not in Gath
"a brandy and soda. This "small and
early" is partallen of in the airiest of
costumes before the dressing room fire,
and during its progress his royal high
ness sorts and reads his letters. Half

Were made or sanctioned in that coy
little room looking out on the Mall between

fast.
The next Observation-Disclosures an inn

is the choice of the suit of clothes he
means to wear, and the selection is to
him matter of much care. II depends,
of course. on the programme for the day.

he down in the days bill of fare. the
latest thing in wonderful chessboard
checks is called for. but whatever suit is
offered to him the prince is sure to reject
if it has been worn five times before. His
royal highness never wears a pair of
trousers more than six times. The cast
offs become the property of his man,
who, it may be judged, has an enviable
post.
AS soon as he is arrayed in purple and
fine linen. the prince has Sir Francis
knollys in, and over the first cigar of the
day instructs him as to the proper treat
ment of the pile of opened letters. Then
he makes his way to his wife's morning
room, where he is sure to find the princess
in the daintiest of morning toilets hard at
work on 'crewels.' with two of her
daughters making wonderful garments
for the Sandringham poor. while the third
little maid is reading aloud. either from
The Times or Morning Post. The papers
and the crewel work are both laid aside
when the prince enters. and when his
youngest daughter has brought him the
weight carryingest chair in the room,
half an hours chat follows.
During the season this is all the home
life the Marlborough house people have
together Unless he has dinner party
at home or some function to attend which
entails the presence of his wife and
daughters. the prince sees them no more
till next morning. He may look in dur
ing the latter hours of the afternoon to
get into evening dress, but the ) O'Clock

accounting for four cups of strong Bonea

The Salt Craze.

The majority of our readers will re-
member the blue glass craze which ragged
SO furiously in 1912. The manufac-
tories of blue glass reaped an enormous
harvest, and people who never allowed
the sun to shine upon them before per-
mitted its beams to reach them through
blue glass hung in convenient southern
windows. There are some indications
that another craze is coming to take the
place of blue glass and the more recent
Juror of hot water. The latest is the
consumption of sea salt or rock salt from
Turks Island as a cure for nearly all the
ills of the body. The craze has reached
Utica and is travelling this way. So far,
the sea salt eaten in season and out of
season has been found to cure consump-
ton, dyspepsia and kidney difficulty,
headache and general good for nothing

There is now in New York a lady who
whistles at private entertainments, but
for a consideration. She gets $50 a night
for whistling in New York drawing
rooms, and is said to have all the engage
ments she wants. The husband of this
lady was well off at one time, but he lost
his money. Whistling was her great ac-
complishment, and when she heard that
this gift could be turned to pecuniary ac-
count, she saw no reason why she should
not aid her husband by her gifts in this
line, and she has succeeded beyond her
expectations. -Argonaut.

The command of large army tasks
the resources of the greatest mind. 1t is
one of the highest of human achieve
ments, and by common consent the first
rank of fame is accorded to the great
generals. To move an army and to feed
it on the march requires higher order of
generalship than to fight it. Thirty hours
without supplies would reduce the best
army to helpless mass of disorganized
humanity. Food for the men, forage for
the animals must not only be provided,
but must be at the precise spot when
wanted. Napoleon, the great master of
the art of war, had score of marshals,
any one of whom could fight a great
battle, and scarce one of whom could
lead an army on the march. An army
on the march resembles nothing so much
as an enormous serpent, stretched out
mile upon mile, and moving, alert and
watchful, with steady and irresistible
force. Let danger threaten and it hastily
coils itself together and prepares to avert
or overcome the danger. Shrunk to a
fraction of its former dimensions, it
shows its fangs and is ready for attack or
defense. The danger overpast, the great
mass unfolls its coils again and stretches
out its huge proportions in progressive
movement. The brain of this mighty
animal, the supreme mind that controls
its every motion, is the general in chief.

"RETURN, STRONG WILL"

Return strong will, thy deserted throne;
Faith, hope and reason, joy will come and be
Loyal prime ministers and aids to thee,
Counselors true, but powerless alone.
Dark doubt and passion their allegiance own
To thy sway only; now, In riot free,
They seek to ruin what is good in me,
And in thy absence what is base condone
Come thou and quell the jewellers; they will
cover,
And all their craven followers in thy sight
Will serve as slaves to thy superior power,
Nor dare to fiaunt by day nor prowl by night
Come and defend fair innocence, whose flower
Needs the protection of thy guardian might.

Something About Big Canals.

A British engineer named Boyd, who
has visited the Panama canal and since his
return has read a paper before the En-
gineers' society at London, reports that
the excavation will 60 slower in the
future than in the past He thinks for
the rest of the work 1900. 900. 000f. and
twelve years of time will be required
that is to say, $40. 900, 900, in addition
to what has already been sunk. Long
before that time the Nicaragua canal
ought to overtake De Lesseps' enterprise,
to say nothing of bankruptcy. Admiral
Ammen, in a pamphlet recently issued,
cites the case of the Caledonia canal of
Scotland, which is 60 miles from sea to
sea, 81 miles by lake and % by canaliza-
ton, and reaches summit level of 102
feet, or only s feet less than that of the
Nicaragua canal. Yet the owners of YES
sells are glad to save short sea voyage
of only 400 miles by locking over this
height. The cost of the Caledonia, which
is 800 feet wide and 90 feet deep. was
only 100000. The Nicaragua passage
is 10 miles long, Ga by river and So by
lake, leaving only 90 for canal, the out
side cost of which is estimated at less than
$50, 000,0 900, including railroad and seven
locks.-Scientitic Journal.

Hate Not.

Hate not. 1t is not worth your
while. Your life is not long enough
to make it pay to cherish ill-will or
hard thoughts. What ifthis man has
cheated you or that man has played
you false? What if your friend has
forsaken you in time of need, or that
one, having won your entire contid-
ence, your warmest love, has con-
Guided that he prefers to consider and
treat you as stranger. Let it all
pass. What difference will it make
to you in few years, when you 90
to the undiscovered country? A few
more smiles, a few more pleasures,
much pain, little longer hurrying
and worrying through the world,
some hasty greetings, abrupt fare
wells, and our play will be "played
out" the injured will be laid away,
and, ere long, forgotten. Is it worthy
to hate each other?

Shortness of Dreams.

One Of the most remarkable phe-
nomena connected with dreams is the
shortness of time needed for their con-
summation. Lord Brougham says
that in debating man may fire.
quently fall asleep after uttering a
few words, and be awakened by the
amanuensis repeating the last word
to show that he has written the
whole; but though five orsix seconds
only have elapsed between the de-
livery Of the sentence and its tranfer
to paper, the sleeper may have passed
through dream extending through
halfa lifetime. Lord Holland and
Mr.. Babbage both confirm this the
Org. The one was listening toa friend
reading aloud, and slept from the be-
ginning of the sentence to the latter
part Of the sentence Immediately sue
ceeding yet, during this timehe had
dreamed the particulars of which
would have taken more than q quarter
Of an hour to write. Mr.. Babbage
dreamed succession of events, and
woke in time to hear the concluding
words of a friends answer to q ques-
ton he had just put to him. One
man was liable to feelings of suffoca-
ton, accompanied by dream Of a
skeleton grasping his throat whenev-
er he slept in lying posture, and
had an attendant to wake him the
moment he sank down. But, though
awakened the moment he began to
sink, that time sufficed for a long
struggle with the skeleton. Another
man dreamed that he crossed the At
lantic, spent fortnight in America,
and fell overheard when embarking
to return; yet his sleep had not lasted
ten minutes.

A Benefactor.

If a man is benefactor who makes
two blades grow where only one grew
before, how much more is he a bene-
factor who should succeed in doub-
ling the poultry products of this coun-
try? Such a result is in fair way
to be accomplished, and that very
soon. The discovery of Sheridan's
Condition Powder to make hens lay,
will not only result in doubling the
egg product, but will revolutionize
the whole poultry industry. During
the autumn of 1885 and winter of 1886
a thorough trial of Sheridan's Pow
ders to make hens lay, was made by
thousands of industrious poultry rails
ers, and the result was most satisfac-
tory and convincing. Not a man or
woman who made the trial got less
than double the average number of
eggs, and many got more than four
times as many as they received from
the same number of hens during the
same time the previous year. This
trial was no hap-hazzard affair, but
was as severe a test as could be ap-
piled. The trial was made under
prescribed rules, and every report
had to be signed by the person who
made the trial and then sworn to by
justice of the peace. There is there
fore, no longer any doubt in the midst
of intelligent poultry keepers but that
judicious use of Sheridan's Powder
will not only largely increase the egg
product, but will stimulate such a
healthy condition amongst birds of
any name and nature, as will greatly
increase the profit of raising them.
This is matter of supreme import
ance to women, children and invalids,
for there is no way by which a steady
cash income can be secured with SO
little labor as by keeping and caring
for poultry. l. S. Johnson d Co., of

coffee were drunk plain its weakness
would be noticeable, but being usually
taken with sugar and milk, the fraud
is not detected. Years ago all the
